Though made famous by author Anne Rice with tales of vampires and witches, her noteworthy New Orleans home at 1239 First Street in the Garden District has a much longer and more ominous past. The Greek Revival-style house was built in the 1850s and spans a sizable 9,000 square feet of living space, perfect for the dead that still inhabit the property amongst the living.
